Happy Fourth everyone! Stay safe and have fun.

Our housekeeper loved the pillow and burpcloths.

I'm heading out in a bit to reset one stone, then head back here to shower and sew. The reset will take probably 3 hours, is my best guess.

so.... Hows your knee?

so.... Hows your knee?

Not terrible. Doing my PT as I was told 2-3 times a day. Still get pain when I'm not careful about how I'm walking or walking on uneven surfaces, but not awful.

I'll spare y'all the 1000 pictures of gravestones today, so long as you allow me this one. This is one of the ones that caused me to go to the town and offer to do the work. This 2 year old is the only one in this cemetery. Assuming at one point it was on their land.

Benn, before, leaning and being propped up by his footstone:

Benn, after. Got him dug out, cleaned up and put back in, along with his footstone in the approximate correct location. I did not locate a base for the headstone anywhere and it seems like it should have a base. It is way too short to be in the ground like it is. It'll last a few years like this, and then I'll have to pour it a base.

Nice job!

I milled some einkorn grain into flour this morning and now have 3 loves of bread in the oven! After they are out, we are off to watch the new Pirates movie. Later it is time to BBQ at tri tip!

Happy fourth to All!

The Corrales Fourth of July parade was a hoot this year. LOTS of Model A and Model T cars, a wide range of John Deere and Farmall tractors, assorted horses and horse/carriage combos, mules, a couple of llamas and goats, contingents of Girl Scout and Boy Scout Troops, a lot of contest princesses (Miss Teen New Mexico, Miss Capital Cities, Miss Teen Universe), a few too many politicians, and two new floats: One was a dental group that threw little toothpastes into the crowd instead of candy and the other was a septic cleaning company, fortunately just daisies in tow. The people watching was great and it was a full hour's worth of hometown pageantry. Gotta love a good parade!

scg, you did a wonderful job with that baby's headstone. Wow!

ron, I googled einkorn. Cool!

 

[chickisoup]

why are some kids raised like that????



So the bears didn't bust it? Nice you got it hung back up.

Hahaha! Nope. The one that became the "bear toy" is still very much in pieces. That will most likely be a when the snow flies project. Too much priority work that needs doing before the white stuff stops the outside work. The windchimes of which I speak are the smaller ones I have hanging around the herb garden to keep the wild birds out of my tomatoes.
